I for one, cant stand Adele, so hope this is nothing more than PR false rumour. Though admittedly, Adele might provide something better than Jack White and Miss Keyes mess of a theme song, something even Michael Wilson commented on as being a mistake that was out of his hands due to Sony. Is Adele with Sony?
What do you have against her? She is one of the few popular artists who is famous for her talent instead of antics and outfits.
Never thought about her label, but she is represented by Columbia, which is a Sony label so yeah, she is technically in their music family.
I only hope if she is doing the theme song, she doesn't do her usual "sad Break up story" routine.
I rather have something like this. http://youtu.be/F7KMMxAQp8I
A couple of things. . .first, no, it isn't impossible to think they're looking at singers now--and, frankly, since the last two title songs didn't have the films' titles in them, the songwriting team doesn't need to have a particular title in mind--but I don't believe in taking hints and rumors as fact. Second, as a typical middle-aged American, I hadn't heard of Adele, so I YouTube'd a couple of her videos. She's got a solid bluesy voice and could handle a Bond theme--so if she is indeed in the running for the film I won't complain. Until I hear the actual song. . .
Adele has started to make it big in America right now...couple that with the fact that she is going off the scale in the UK and that would appear to give her the edge over most artists at this time...
I'm not a huge fan of hers...she has done some stunning songs though...I just can't see Eon not picking her this time...
Usually I'm with you all the way HB....this time however...
It would just seem very silly to ask her to write a song for submission and not to use it....so I reckon they already have the title of the film....
HB is right....which is why a) the songs are often cobbled together at the last minute and b) why he's wrong this time.....whinehouse/QoS taught them a lesson and now they will have the song written by the time the films in the can....
Hence the adele story fits perfectly.... -{
It takes months to do the title graphics with all their fancy computer rendering these days, so they would need the song to get going on it with syncing up those. It isn't crazy to think they would be testing artists for the songs now.
I was rooting for Duffy, too, but Adele was up there as a top choice. I can't get Duffy's Live and Let Die out of my head though...
Well I think she has the voice, the sound and is in vogue here - so great choice. -{
I love the track – Someone like you - hasn't everyone felt that way at some point? Who cannot like that voice....
However, for Bond, it needs to be Bassey-esque (if that's allowed... of course ) she's got the power and the conviction to pull it off - effortlessly :007)

Agree, but why settle for it being merely Bassey-esque when Bassey herself is still available, and has indicated that she would love to do another Bond theme?
Ok, by now I sound like a broken record. I guess I'll say no more on the matter.

No, that's fine...but Miss Bassey will have to come up with the theme tune herself....the other artists mentioned will probably pen it themselves (or use their writing teams)...and Eon will go for someone that can sell vast numbers of records...and I just don't see Shirley doing that - shame that it is...

Have seen Joss Stone with Karma life on TV right now: WOW! WOW! WOW!

I worry that they wouldn't give it to Joss Stone since she got to be in on Blood Stone as a star and singer. Blood Stone was sort of touted as a film-like Bond game, even if it isn't a film. Just hope that doing a theme on that doesn't mean they would skip her doing another theme for a film.
I don't like his voice. He always sounds a bit boyish and like he has a cold or nasally vibration in his voice. I can't say he isn't good, but I personally can't stand his voice much (except in 30 Rock's "Mr. Templeton"). Plus there was that awkwardness when he cheated on Emily Blunt and got caught in pictures...

My favorite Adele song, not a break up song. I like her sound a lot. A more intense step from her usual stuff would be totally Bond:

Hail adele ..... :007)
Coincidentally, my girlfriend just made me a CD of Adele songs because that's her favorite singer.
Another one of her good ones

She says no once, but it didn't sound like a real denial. I think she is in the running for sure.

I agree on her: Wow.
I agree with the Michael Buble suggestion. This guy was MADE to sing a Bond title theme song...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QnZ2oHJWLA - I think the intro to this song was made intentionally to grab the attention of the folks at EON.

I'll take Adele, Duffy, or Joss Stone over him.
